Abstract
The article analyzes the socio-psychological essence of thinking as a culturally and socially determined cognitive process. Theoretical approaches of cultural-historical psychology, social constructivism, and contemporary cognitive science are integrated. The study highlights the role of social interaction, language, group norms, and cultural context in shaping thinking processes.
